DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman
al-Zawahri described the United Nations as an enemy to Muslims
and vowed attacks on Jews both inside and outside Israel in a
statement posted on the Internet on Wednesday.

"The United Nations is an enemy of Islam and Muslims," he
said in remarks made in response to questions posted on the
Internet.

He defended attacks on U.N. offices in an apparent
reference to twin bomb attacks on U.N. buildings in Algiers
which killed 41 people in December and the bombing of a U.N.
building in Baghdad in 2003 which killed 22.

Zawahri also called for attacks on Jews. "We promise our
Muslim brothers that we will do our utmost to strike Jews in
Israel and abroad with help and guidance from God."
